The European Parliament voted against extending voluntary measures for service providers to detect child sexual abuse online by not prolonging an interim derogation from e-Privacy rules. Despite efforts to negotiate a long-term legal framework, no agreement was reached with the Council, and the interim regulation will expire after 3 April 2026. Parliament aimed to continue temporary measures for a shorter period and with a narrower scope, but these efforts did not succeed. Talks on a permanent law have been ongoing since Council adopted its position in November 2025.
